Mike Florio Thinks George Pickens’ Talents Weren’t ‘Fully Embraced Or Cultivated’ By Steelers

After three seasons where he showed a lot of promise, George Pickens is no longer a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers. They traded him to the Dallas Cowboys, leaving them with a hole at wide receiver again. It’s probably going to be difficult to replace Pickens, too. For all of his faults, he’s an extremely talented player. It’s unfortunate that he couldn’t work out with the Steelers. Mike Florio thinks Pittsburgh is to blame for that, though.

“At his best last year, it was Russell Wilson uncorking the deep ball without regard to whether or not George Pickens was covered,” Florio said Friday on Pro Football Talk.
